The Christmas season is upon us in full. Yesterday was the busiest travel day of the year. Family. Gifts. Airlines. Food. In laws. Shopping. Cooking. It's all here and hopefully you also take time to rest and rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirt while on this holiday break. If you aren't careful, your "vacation" from work can quickly become anything but. Life can get hectic and very crowded in general but even more so during holidays. We make room for family, friends, gifts, and food (and all of these are important and fun) but let's make sure we are also making room for Jesus.
Luke 2:7 in the KJV reads like this,
"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."
Is there room for Jesus in your life during this holiday season? Is your life so crowded and busy and hectic that you don't have any time or energy left for faith? Work, life, eat, sleep, repeat. Multiply all this by 100 during the Christmas season right? My prayer and hope for everyone reading this is that you make sure and make room for Jesus. If you are not careful God can get crowded out competing for time and attention in your life. Making room for Jesus has to be a decision that you make and consciously are aware of.
Whatever you are doing this holiday season don't forget to make room for Jesus.
